We are a professional, family-owned dog training company with over 40 years of experience that specializes in strengthening the bond between your dog and your family, with a strong emphasis on teaching your dog the highest level of obedience, despite even the toughest level of distractions. Our unique in-home dog training model is designed to teach owners how to train their dog alongside a professional dog trainer in their home environment as well as in small group settings. We strongly believe that the key to sustained obedience is to empower owners to be an integral part of the training experience. Once you begin the training process with us, you become a part of the DTE family. Contact us for a free in-home evaluation.
We could not be happier with our experience working with Dog Training Elite! Josh has trained both of our doodles and each time we were amazed how quickly our dogs transformed before our eyes!
He first trained our goldendoodle, Finn, who
was having some aggression issues a few years back. He helped make Finn less anxious through training which has made all
the difference for us. When we recently added a Bernedoodle puppy to our family, we knew where to turn! Josh trained Birdie so patiently even though she was stubborn at times!
One of the things we love most is the DTE training structure. They focus on building skills slowly, teaching one command each week, which has been such an effective and successful process. Our dogs have been able to truly learn and retain each command before moving on.
We can’t recommend them highly enough—if you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and cares about long-term success, this is the place to go!

Dog Training Elite has been the best investment for my newly adopted four-year-old Pointer rescue. We just completed the Elite Training Camp, which was a game-changer for my boy. Our shared confidence and improved communication are invaluable. Dog Training Elite are professionals who treat you and your dog like family. The team has been the most communicative and empathic training team I have ever worked with. From Doug’s in-home consultation visit to the daily sessions with Anika, Josh, and Sonia, the entire DTE team was committed to addressing the foundation pillars of obedience and the specialty concerns I had for my dog. Love the continued support in the group classes and in-home visits. Forever grateful this obedience program was recommended.
